Hi All,
Looking for some advice if possible I’m only 4 months into the hobby & was loving it until most of my aquarium died to white spot/Ick this was about 5 weeks ago now so I treated the fish as soon as I got some advice (would recognise this a lot sooner if happened again god forbid) I have been left with 2 Guppies & 1 swordtail who were all doing fine. My plan was to give it a month hope the virus died & keep an eye on existing fish & continue with the hobby.
I was planning to get some more guppies this week however now one of my guppies seems unwell, Hiding a lot not eating etc…. All water condirions on my test are good (0 nitrate 0 ammonia) & have not changed anything really in my tank apart from the water changes, so could this be down to stress due to bullying as he is the smallest of the 3 & should I add more guppies to get the community back in the tank? Or is this a sign of white spot reappearing but no show on the actual fish?
Really frustrated as I thought I overcome the disease & was on the up, really want to continue with the hobby but just don’t know what I’m doing wrong…. I’m very careful & read alot of articles about everything….. I was going to get the guppies tommorow but now after this fish taking a turn I just have 0 clue…
Thanks for any help!
